Explanation: Of course, in reality, while transgender is a modern category, phenomena which we would regard, in the modern day, as fitting into this category are widespread throughout recorded history, despite the disinterest of chuds in acknowledging the historical record.

Chuds do the same with homosexuality, except when used to demonize someone.

"Grant’s bond with Scott persisted even after he married Virginia Cherrill in 1934. Cherrill allegedly left Grant because she felt like the third wheel in his relationship with Scott, according to some stories."

Just two very straight bachelors living together to help pay rent, obviously

I remember everyone being shocked that Rock Hudson got AIDS early in the epidemic.

My brain is fried I think, I read your comment as "except when used to demonize sodomy". I guess it would still work, but man...

It was literally much of the research that Nazi Germany burned early on. How can it have only just come to exist if 1920s and 30s Germany were burning research on it? Not that it started there, either.

The fascists like them young and dumb.

It feels like it's almost designed to make you feel crazy explaining the history you've found in the scorch marks in the records. But when you know what you're looking for you see that people like you lived long ago in different lives but similar ones.
